Last night was Paddy's Night, and yet again I didn't go out with a guitar in my hand to play with some chums in some bar, and drink a pint of the black stuff, and sing 'The Fields of Athenrye' and 'Fairy-Tale of New York', amongst others. This hasn't happened for two or three years but previously had been a ritual. For an Englishman of the Bastard Mongrel variety (which to my great delight I am) I still have a lot of time for the mother's side. I dislike the Catholic Church in a way only those brought up within the Church can ever appreciate: which is I suppose the culture of apostasy.
But no singing and no Guinness is not a good Paddy's.
I've got to do something about this withdrawing from the world. I should see my chums occasionally; I should go out and have a laugh from time to time; and it shouldn't be about me being off the leash in a foreign country in some ad hoc Bacchanalia, fun though that sort of thing is.

Can you download 'torrents' ? Here's the whole thing.
